Free wallpaper Biography

By 1967 Burdon and Valentine had become totally immersed in psychedelia, both musically and chemically. This alienated them from the rest of the band (who preferred good old-fashioned alcohol), and led to its disintegration. Chandler went on to discover and manage the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Burdon, however, retained the name and immediately re-emerged as Eric Burdon And The New Animals. They found greater favour in the USA where they were domiciled, and courted the west coast sound and school of bands from that period. ‘San Franciscan Nights’ perfectly echoed the moment, with the lyrics: ‘Strobe lights beam creates dreams, walls move, minds do too, on a warm San Franciscan night’. Burdon further encapsulated his reverence in the song ‘Monterey’, cleverly eulogizing the epic Monterey Pop Festival of 1967. A number of interesting musicians passed through various line-ups of the New Animals, notably John Weider, Vic Briggs (formerly of Steam Packet), Danny McCulloch, Zoot Money and future Police guitarist Andy Summers.

The tamed Burdon was now writing introspective and thought-provoking lyrics, although many of his fans found it difficult to take the former raver seriously. Long improvisational pieces began to appear in their live performances, with watered-down versions to be found on the albums Winds Of Change, The Twain Shall Meet, Everyone Of Us and Love Is. The group eventually disbanded at the end of 1968. The original line-up regrouped twice, in 1977 and 1983, but on both occasions new albums were released to an indifferent public. For the 1983 revival tour it was reported that Valentine had become so rusty on the guitar that a lead guitarist was recruited. Valentine and Steel continue to gig on the pub circuit as Animals II.
